Oct 21 2022, 12:01 am

Holiday festivities are just around the corner, and one of our favourite events is helping to kick things off in the City of Surrey next month.

The 12th annual Surrey Tree Lighting Festival and Holiday Market, presented by Concord Pacific, is happening this year on Saturday, November 19 at Surrey Civic Plaza.

A popular tradition for many in Metro Vancouver, the outdoor event will take place from 12 to 8 pm. The lighting ceremony for the giant 60-feet Christmas tree begins at 6 pm, with the lights being turned on at 6:30 pm.

“In keeping with our long-standing commitment to the Surrey community, Concord Pacific is pleased to help get the holiday season off to a bright start as presenting sponsor of the annual Surrey Tree Lighting Festival,” said Peter Webb, Senior Vice President, Development, Concord Pacific, in a release.

Guests are invited to start off the holiday season by taking free photos with Santa, enjoying free amusement rides including a Ferris wheel, and strolling through the light tunnel.

There will be over 25 local vendors to discover in the expanded Holiday Market. Each offers unique handmade and artisan products that will help you cross everyone off your Christmas shopping list.
